Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Islamic State jihadis complain that “the Syrians do not know anything of the Islamic religion”

Feb 22, 2015 6:54 pm By Robert Spencer

islamic-state11DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson just said that to call the Islamic State Islamic would be “dignifying them as occupying some form of Islam.” And so here we see the cognitive dissonance clearly: the Islamic State is impatient with Syrians whom they claim know nothing about Islam, and non-Muslim authorities in the West (and Muslim authorities as well) insist that it is actually the jihadis of the Islamic State who know nothing about Islam. At very least, Western intelligence agents and policymakers should study the Islamic State’s understanding of Islam, so as to comprehend these jihadis’ motives and goals, and be able to counter them more effectively. But they will not do that, because that would lead them into study of…Islam.

“Isis infighting: Tensions rise over use of Yazidi sex slaves, loss of Kobani and poor services in areas controlled by group,” by Heather Saul, the Independent, February 21, 2015 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Yazidi sex slaves, the loss of Kobani and the struggle to keep infrastructure running in areas captured by Isis are believed to be causing friction among militants in the group.

Recent reports suggest infighting is growing between the ranks of foreign fighters as Isis tries to recover from bombing campaigns against its strongholds in Iraq and Syria.

The Jordanian airforce recently claimed to have degraded Isis’s capabilities by 20 per cent after air strikes against militants were intensified in retaliation for the death of pilot Lieutenant Muath al-Kasaesbeh. Isis is also believed to be suffering financially of late as their supply routes between core territories are damaged.

Sajad Jiyad, Research Fellow and Associate Member at the Iraqi Institute for Economic Reform, said one of the biggest issues to have caused friction between fighters in the past surrounded the decision to keep Yazidi children and women as sex slaves.

Mr Jiyad told The Independent that many supporters had been in denial about the trafficking of kidnapped Yazidi women, who were captured when Isis flooded Mosul and sold off as sex slaves to fighters.

“It shows that not all supporters understand the nature of the organisation,” he said.

Harrowing accounts have since emerged of trafficked women being beaten, raped and even forced to give blood by militants.

A 15-year-old Yazidi girl captured by Isis and forcibly married to a militant in Syria describes her ordeal having escaped A 15-year-old Yazidi girl captured by Isis and forcibly married to a militant in Syria describes her ordeal having escaped Isis’s propaganda magazine Dabiq published an article in October justifying the practice of selling women and children. It condemned Yazidis as “pagans” and “infidels” and claimed they were divided among Isis members “according to the Sharia”.

Mr Jiyad said: “Their supporters were in denial until Daesh confirmed it in a magazine; some had said before the revelation that they wouldn’t do such a thing as it was vile, but then were left with egg on their faces.”…

Meanwhile, Abu Mohammed Hussam, of the Syrian activist group Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, says relationships between Iraqi and Syrian fighters and those arriving from the Gulf are becoming increasingly strained.

“They say that all the Syrians do not know anything of the Islamic religion,” he explained.

      I understood that the Syrians (or some of them) are Alawites, a subgroup of Muslims but still Muslims. Isn’t that so?

      Personally, I’ve had enough! I call out to you, all Christians in the world, let us unite in a worldwide fast and prayer day against the islamic forces taking over people’s lives and countries! Let us cry out every first Sunday of the month as one, in one voice, in one supplication that Jesus’ mighty hand will be moved for His children, that the enemy forces will weaken and collapse, that world leaders will make the right choices and most of all, that through our prayers many will come to Him, including those who are the most unlikely! We owe this to pour brethren, we need to support them in desperate prayer like this. I want us to turn this seaming defeat into a victory! Are you with me? I personally I am hungry to see the hand of God at work!!!! ‘You have not because you ask not!’ (James 4:3) ‘You shall seek Me and find Me when you shall search for Me with all your heart!’ (Jer. 29:13)
      I meet you in the spirit, every first Sunday of the month.

    By “understand” you mean “know” or “believe”? What part of “islam allows sexual slavery” is difficult to understand?

    I think I agree with SAKOVKT, it’s hard to tell.

    Are you saying the ferocity that they obey mohammed, must be met with the same ferocity? As in an almost religious determination to do what is needed? As, anything else (because of their religious determination) will be ineffectual?

    Just to clear that up. Thanks.

      Lets put it this way, Islam and its adherents won´t be defeated by waving bibles at Muslims and singing Christian hymns.
      However much, Muslim water carriers and apologists push the nonsense ” be nice to Muslims and they will love and respect you in return “—it isn´t going to happen. Why ???? because Muslims are ordered in their Koran to kill all non Muslims if they refuse to convert or pay the slave tax.

    Referring to the photo above; notice how they love the little book with all the answers to everything their ever was. What a sturdy foundation on which to build a civilisation! The old photos of myopic young red guards holding aloft Mao’s Little Red Book is almost interchangeable. Of course, China started to develop and branch out into the modern world only when the little red book was relegated to the library archives out disinterest and embarrassment.

    Let me see if I got this right.
    1. They Read the Islamic Holy Books.
    2. They Live by the Islamic Qur’an.
    5. They Worship Islamic Allah,
    3. Their Prophet is Islamic Mohammed.
    5. They shout Islamic Phrases.
    6. They wear Islamic Garb.
    7. AND they Bloody Murder, Slit Throats, Sever Heads and commit TERRORIST Acts, on ANYONE NOT Islam, and brazenly POST it.

    This is ALL well DOCUMENTED, in Words, Pictures, and Deeds.

    However, we should Stop Linking Islam to Terrorism ?

    Appears as though they are really getting desperate, now that their Taqiyya and Kitman (Islamic Lies and Deception) are NOT working, and the TRUTH about Islam is out.

    However, it IS through their OWN Bloody Deeds that brought these FACTS to light.

    “the Syrians do not know anything of the Islamic religion”

    Why don’t we ask a pious Muslim?

    In Egypt, the president is Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a pious Muslim. Having grown up in the world’s center of sharia scholarship and closely studied the subject, he has courageously proclaimed that Islam desperately needs a “religious revolution.”

    There are three viewpoints about Islam: 1 the believer’s 2 the apologist’s 3 the kafir’s.

    Jeh Johnson is an apologist. An apologist has not read Islam’s texts, but considers himself an expert on Islam.

    Johnson has made an eternal, pompous ass of himself and he will never live it down.

    He spoke just after Graeme Wood’s groundbreaking Atlantic article which stated clearly that ISIS is ‘punctiliously Islamic’.

    Johnson better read it now before he shames himself and his staff even more.

      Freudian slip? In an interview this morning Jeh Johnson talked about “our religion” and sounded very much like the Obamster himself. Is he a convert?

    Nobody is *ever* Islamic enough. No-one is ever pure enough, sharia-compliant enough. There is always someone else who deems himself “more Islamic than thou”, more sharia-compliant than the next guy..and because more sharia-compliant, then entitled to either kill or force into compliance the insufficiently-compliant.

    And thus Islam, and Muslims, descend everlastingly into the Void.
